Watch: Quentin Tarantino brings back Los Angeles from the '60s for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood shoot

In June, Leonardo DiCaprio shared the first look of him and co-star Brad Pitt from Quentin Tarantino's forthcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The film is based in Los Angeles in the year of 1969 when the infamous Manson family murders took place.

Phil Grishayev, a video director, and VFX artist shared a clip of Hollywood Boulevard, lined with vintage cars, that transports us to the distinctive decade. Even the shop fronts and billboards that have been changed to look like they belong to a retro age. LA Mag reports that the crew has also recreated an iconic Pussycat theatre, a record store as well as a bookstore at the same spot where it was located in the 60s and 70s.

Many awestruck Twitter users, who passed by the set also shared pictures of the location.
